-4 {Nivix Cyclops}, +4 {Magma Jet}, in a heartbeat
Quote from: Pirate John on October 03, 2013, 06:02:07 PMMy reasoning is if someone casts, say, {Garruk, Caller of Beasts} and i counter it with {Counterflux} if i dont have {Render Silent} in my hand, then i can {Silence} him then his turn is basically over.
Explain your reasoning behind {silence} please. Would you be happy drawing late in the game as well as early?
Quote from: GreatDarkness8 on October 05, 2013, 05:24:02 PMThat way you lose a bunch of card advantage just to stop them from casting something with what little mana they have left (something ehich is unlikely).Quote from: Pirate John on October 03, 2013, 06:02:07 PMMy reasoning is if someone casts, say, {Garruk, Caller of Beasts} and i counter it with {Counterflux} if i dont have {Render Silent} in my hand, then i can {Silence} him then his turn is basically over.

Quote from: Pirate John on October 06, 2013, 02:46:16 PMAgreed. I'd much rather have a cantrip like {Quicken} in here rather than silence.
{Silence} is used in combo decks or grindy Extort matches. In any other deck, it's waste of a card slot

For me personally that's a lot of 3 cmc counter spells. Have you considered omen speaker? helps with card advantage. I also would recommend 3 sphinx instead of 2. When I did American control when innistrad was legal I hardly saw them. I will agree that supreme verdic should be main board as well. I would even toss in warleader's helix as well. Just my thoughts
Quote from: DylanW18 on October 09, 2013, 11:15:33 AMIt allows me to cast a counter even if i only have 1 actual blue mana on the field
Why {Chromatic Lantern}?
